"Misha Panfilov, the Estonian composer whose name has become synonymous with space-age exotica, withdraws once more into the solitude of his studio and emerges with “To Blue From Grey In May.” Recorded amid the ever-changing light and shadows of Tallinn between March and May 2025, the album stands as a testament to immersion. Here, Panfilov threads himself into the fabric of sound, enveloped by the mystical awe of Mellotron, organs, upright piano, harmonium, electric bass, percussion, synthesizers, and, at times, the faintest echo of his own voice.

He abandons melody almost entirely. What remains is the ritual of repetition, each phrase shaped by hand, without loops or sequencers. The instruments thrum and drift, unmoored. Four long compositions unfold, unlocking something ancient, something that seems to draw from the wellspring of those ancestral architects of sound."

Written, arranged and produced by Misha Panfilov.
